All hopped up on the excitement of Emmy ballots coming out on Monday, we posed the question yesterday of whether Emmy voters' love affairs with certain shows might be blocking other deserving winners. 30 Rock and Mad Men are great, but does rewarding them over and over "cheat" other great shows out of the prize? It's a tricky question–maybe these shows (or their submissions) really are the best, or really do best match voters' tastes. While voting panels change from year to year, it's not like there are sweeping changes to the overall Academy membership across short periods of time.
Still, the numbers suggest that there's a pretty good case to be made that logjams among series winners are creating a few victors and a block of losers. We wondered, however, whether the pattern of repeat winners would be the same for performers. There are obviously many more actors to choose from than series, and since actors submit a single episode to be judged, an especially striking performance or storyline might propel a seeming underdog to victory. At the same time, everyone can think of anecdotal evidence suggesting that some lauded actors just aren't able to break through. Hugh Laurie and Steve Carell, for example, have both done seven seasons of their signature roles, they've both been nominated for performance Emmys five times for those roles…and they've both won exactly zero times. Could repeat wins for other actors be the explanation? Today we look at 20 years of actors in lead categories.
Lead Actor in a Drama: 25% repeat winners, 60% multiple winners
Dennis Franz, who was terrific on NYPD Blue, won four times; during those years George Clooney, Anthony Edwards, Jimmy Smits, Jerry Orbach, Sam Waterston, and David Duchovny were nominated multiple times and never attained the prize. (You thought Jimmy Smits won one of those years, didn't you? Me too. Like Laurie and Carell, he was nominated five times without a win.) James Gandolfini's three wins kept Orbach, Peter Krause, and–hold me closer, tiny dancers–Martin Sheen off the podium, while James Spader's and Bryan Cranston's three wins apiece have pretty effectively blocked Laurie, Michael C. Hall, Gabriel Byrne, Denis Leary, and Jon Hamm.
Lead Actress in a Drama: 15% repeats, 65% multiple winners
To be fair, the annual nominations of the usual suspects in this category probably reveals a dearth of quality roles for women. But from year to year, this tends to be the same small number of women trading off the trophy. With a historic lack of good leading roles for women, is rewarding the same good stuff over and over a problem? As much as I like Angela Lansbury, for example, I can't get that worked up over Kathy Baker's three victories keeping Murder, She Wrote out of the winner's circle. Still, The Edie Falco and Allison Janney Hootenanny Variety Hour (I would totally watch that) that soaked up five Emmys effectively blocked Jennifer Garner and Frances Conroy from winning for notable performances, and a second win for Glenn Close for a lesser season of Damages could have gone to someone like Holly Hunter.
Lead Actor in a Comedy: 20% repeats, a staggering 70% multiple winners
The six-year Kelsey Grammar/John Lithgow stranglehold shut out John Goodman, Gary Shandling, and even Michael J. Fox's Spin City performance until he was forced to leave his show. (It also shut out Paul Reiser while Helen Hunt won four Emmys in a row for the same show and Jerry Seinfeld while his show was the biggest phenomenon on TV, but, like Sue Sylvester, I don't care so much about that.) While Tony Shaloub's Monk was certainly a great performance, his three wins came at the expense of Matt LeBlanc, Bernie Mac, and Steve Carell, who I note again has never won for playing Michael Scott. (Alec Baldwin's repeat win in 2009 helped with that little blockade.)
Lead Actress in a Comedy: 25% repeats, 50% multiple winners
While the 50% multiples number is a lot, there hasn't been a repeat winner in almost a decade. The Candice Bergen/Helen Hunt (four in a row)/Patricia Heaton era, during which five women won in 12 years, meant no awards for Betty White, Delta Burke, Marion Ross, Cybill Shepherd, Ellen DeGeneres, Calista Flockhart, and Jane Kaczmarek. Since Heaton's repeat win in 2001, however, nine different women have taken home the Emmy in this category. A sign of a sea change?
All of this is only mentioning the repeat nominees who were blocked–second, third, and fourth wins also beat out solo nominations for the likes of Ian McShane, Dylan McDermott, Matthew Fox, Kyle Chandler, Amber Tamblyn, Minnie Driver, Zach Braff, Jason Bateman, Bonnie Hunt, Marcia Cross, and Connie Britton (although we're still hoping Chandler and Britton will become two-time nominees this year). And of course, repeats mean leaving out a laundry list of never-nominated actors too long to list here. As was true of serial series nominations and wins, there is little representation for genre stories (where is Mary McDonnell's Emmy? Where is Nathan Fillion's? Where is Kristen Bell's? Where is Sarah Michelle Gellar's?)–would requiring a winner to sit out, even a year, open up the field for unexpected nominees and maybe even winners? Would instituting such a rule have solved your favorite example of a great performance that missed out on a nomination or win?
Saturday: Ensemble shows probably make up the bulk of TV–quality and otherwise–today, and we tend to find the supporting categories the toughest to winnow down as we try to pick nominees. With so many actors to choose from, is the winners carousel even more problematic in supporting categories?

Charles Ellis, the best-selling author, consultant and Ivy League professor who founded Greenwich Associates, has some simple advice for advisors who want to grow strong firms that should be obvious but frequently isn't: Be a good leader and serve your mission well.
Might sound easier said than done, but Ellis explains how to put that into action in this month's cover story.
Mark Tibergien uncovers a serious issue that could knock the wind out of a firm that isn't paying attention: wire fraud. It's a big problem and one advisors need to take seriously. Tibergien, with comments from resident compliance expert Tom Giachetti, explains how advisors can protect themselves.
For our Overlooked Managers feature, we talked to Pioneer Investment's Charles Melchreit about growth in the ultra-short fund space. Investors have shied away from it since 2008, but now the space is turning around.
We also present the final installment of the 2012 Growth by Design series from FA Insight. What do firms need to grow at each stage of their life cycle? Eliza De Pardo and Dan Inveen explain.
Mission to Serve: How Great Leaders Take a Firm to the Next Level
A word of advice if you ever plan on speaking professionally with Charles Ellis: Be prepared.
The best-selling author, consultant and Ivy League professor swatted away a number of our carefully crafted questions, and it was only after his explanation of why that we understood our mistaken premise. Ellis (who goes by Charley) had something to say and, alternating between genial and intense, he was going to say it. It was a refreshing change from so many interview subjects who fear to contradict in the belief it will make them "look good" in the eyes of the interviewer, and by extension, the reader.
Ellis spoke with Editor-in-Chief John Sullivan to explain what it takes for advisory firms to be great.
Risky Business: How to Protect Your Firm From Wire Fraud
Advisors often mistakenly believe that their broker-dealer or custodian is responsible for preventing fraud. While such firms play a role, providing surveillance and tripwires that stymie illegal transactions, the ultimate responsibility lies with advisors, particularly those serving in a fiduciary capacity.
Mark Tibergien explains why it's so important for advisors to take responsibility for preventing fraud and shares some examples of ways fraudsters might try to compromise advisors' practices.
An Ultra-Strong Case for Ultra-Short Funds
It's been a tough road in the ultra-short mutual fund space. The category blew up in 2008 along with everything else, and yields proved little better than money market funds in the recovery that followed. However, modest inflows since the beginning of the recovery are bringing life back to the space. Editor-in-Chief John Sullivan spoke with Pioneer Investments' Charles Melchreit to learn why investors have no need to fear the ultra-short space.
Growing Strong: The 2012 Growth by Design Study
In the final installment of the 2012 Growth by Design series, Eliza De Pardo and Dan Inveen compare a firm's growth needs to vitamins: "As the years progress, so do our dietary needs—Flintstones vitamins make way for Centrum Silver."
The authors break down data from the annual FA Insight study to show what vitamins a firm needs at each stage.

53EXOc5'-3' exonuclease
|SMART accession number:
|Interpro abstract (IPR002421):
The N-terminal and internal 5'3'-exonuclease domains are commonly found together, and are most often associated with 5' to 3' nuclease activities. The XPG protein signatures are never found outside the '53EXO' domains. The latter are found in more diverse proteins [(PUBMED:7926735), (PUBMED:10322433), (PUBMED:8464724)]. The number of amino acids that separate the two 53EXO domains, and the presence of accompanying motifs allow the diagnosis of several protein families.
In the eubacterial type A DNA-polymerases, the N-terminal and internal domains are separated by a few amino acids, usually four. The pattern DNA_POLYMERASE_A (IPR001098) is always present towards the C terminus. Several eukaryotic structure-dependent endonucleases and exonucleases have the 53EXO domains separated by 24 to 27 amino acids, and the XPG protein signatures are always present. In several proteins from herpesviridae, the two 53EXO domains are separated by 50 to 120 amino acids. These proteins are implicated in the inhibition of the expression of the host genes. Eukaryotic DNA repair proteins with 600 to 700 amino acids between the 53_EXO domains all carry the XPG protein signatures.
|GO function:
|DNA binding (GO:0003677)
|Family alignment:
There are 27001 53EXOc domains in 27001 proteins in SMART's nrdb database.

What's the difference between 650 and 700hp? Does your head snap back that much harder, or does the g-force push you into the seat that much deeper? Does the scenery blur more? And does it matter when 650hp is already enough to lay waste to most challengers?
In the supercharged M3 arms race, it does matter because 650hp is where you'll find the stage 2 kits from ESS Tuning and VF Engineering maxing out, with G-Power's rated at 610hp. So getting more power usually requires a stage 3 kit with different internals to handle the higher boost.
With that in mind, we were naturally intrigued when Active Autowerke told us about its new Generation 2 Level 3 supercharger kit developing 700hp on stock internals. We decided to investigate this further.
Most of Active's competitors limit stage 2 boost to around 8psi, including the company's own 640hp Level 2 kit. And while it may seem unfair to compare Active's (Level) stage 3 to another company's stage 2 kits, the key here is retaining the stock internals.
Level 3 is apparently rated at 9psi at redline, with an extra 0.5psi spike just before the throttle closes, giving a peak of 9.5psi.
Karl Hugh, Active's Technical Director, explained how they were able to control boost by careful manipulation of the S65 engine's Vanos variable timing system, controlling cylinder pressures, valve overlap and scavenging.
Hugh also discussed how the new Rotrex C38-92 trim supercharger, which is the basis for the Generation 2 kits (replacing the previous gen HKS GTS 8555), maximizes the scavenging. He chose the Rotrex because it made more power and had better adiabatic efficiency.
To lower the engine's intake temperatures, a front-mounted air-to-air intercooler is fitted. It further has the benefit of methanol injection, which is distilled 50/50 with water.
The E92 M3 shown here has become known as "Blitzkrieg" after it got its name from Active's enthusiastic Facebook fans. It's the company's showcase for the Generation 2 Level 3 supercharger system. It's also home to a prototype big brake kit the Active is producing, along with their own 20" ACW wheels.
The car is also covered in a Skinz Wrap vinyl wrap with a blueprint graphic created by Active's in-house designer for maximum impact.
Finally, there's a Mode Carbon front spoiler and BMW M Performance trunk spoiler plus an Auto Carbon rear diffuser.
You can hear the faint whine of the supercharger as the revs climb, but it's not intrusive or any noisier than other systems on the market.
At regular driving speeds, the supercharged engine feels smooth, neither jerking nor snatching when getting on or off the throttle.
The supercharger comes on early, and the extra grunt overcomes the S65's lack of low-end torque. Active claims the torque peaks at 380 lb-ft to the wheels, (46% more than stock) just before 8000rpm. Yet 80% of that is available from 3300rpm. The horsepower peaks at 8200rpm, registering 590hp at the wheels.
So when you push the right pedal harder, power builds with rabid ferocity. There are demons being exorcised every time you run to redline, screaming through Active's stainless exhaust system, which features an X-pipe and high-flow cats. You can't feel any hesitation or let up in the power curve, it's just a building crescendo of annihilating force.
Whether or not it's faster than a 650hp stage 2 set up is hard to say without a head-to-head race. It's like trying to tell the difference between taking a blow to the head from a 5 lb and an 8 lb sledgehammer.
I will say that I've never driven a supercharged M3 that accelerates from 30-150mph at the rate of this one. Nor have I driven one as explosive, that races for the redline as quickly as Active's Blitzkrieg.
Even when approaching 150mph, the rate of acceleration only tapered off slightly as the engine began to fight wind resistance. There was plenty left but we ran out of road.
An amazing thing happens when you stand on the prototype brakes. The gargantuan 12-piston front calipers squeeze 405mm (15.9") slotted rotors, with an eight-piston/15" set up in the rear. The forged aluminum calipers are mounted on CNC-machined steel brackets for maximum rigidity. The front calipers also use six pads per corner, with the rears using four, for a total of 20 brake pads. Consider that when it's time for maintenance!
Predictably, these giant stoppers grab instantly, and with such force you'd think the car was going to flip end-over-end. They didn't show any signs of fade, even after three stops from 150mph.
Active worked closely with the brake supplier to find the right brake bias, switching from six to eight-piston on the rear to achieve the overall balance they wanted.
In addition to the ACW wheels (20x9" front, 20x10" rear) and Nitto Invo tires (255/30, 295/25 respectively), Blitzkrieg rides on JRZ Pro coilovers with external nitrogen canisters. The combination produces a firm ride with sharp turn-in response and hardly any body roll.
In the rapidly-evolving supercharged M3 segment, where we've seen incremental steps to greater power, Active's Gen 2 Level 3 kit looks and feels like it's set the benchmark for bolt-on power. Maybe we'll get to compare it to one of its competitors on the road or track to get a definitive impression of who rules the roost.
The second M3 in this article is owned by Active customer, Chris Ritter. It wears similar Skinz Wrap vinyl after he saw Blitzkrieg and had to have it.
The E36 is a reminder of Active's roots, harking back to when the company was first featured in this magazine in EC 5/97 with a trio of M3 turbos that instantly made everybody take notice.
The company has since moved away from turbos to more emission-friendly superchargers, but its expertise with the E36 chassis was on full display with the track-spec car featured here.
Active took this '99 five-speed and removed all the dead weight before welding in a four-point rollcage. It now weighs 2950 lb. Thanks to chassis reinforcement, you can feel every imperfection through the Sparco race seats, and hear every pebble thrown up by the sticky Nitto Invo tires.
Although street legal, it's probably not something you'd drive daily unless you need to get your adrenaline moving in the morning. It gives a raw driving experience, making modern cars feel like sensory deprivation tanks.
The engine is the familiar 3.2-liter S50, but it generates an extra 200hp thanks to Active's Stage 2+ C-38 Rotrex-based supercharger kit. It's supplemented by a custom 3.5" intake pipe and Schrick cams as well as Active ECU programming.
As before, the internals remain stock while the exhaust consists of Active headers and race system.
To maintain engine temps, it runs an oversized radiator and high-performance fan clutch. Oil is cooled by another Active radiator.
After you've tightened the harnesses, you push on a stiff race clutch that makes smooth starts challenging, requirinh throttle manipulation. Once underway, swapping gears required little effort, however, thanks to Active's short-throw shift kit.
With the car sitting as low as you dare on the street, and the tight suspension providing quick responses, the car felt like a 3/4-scale M3. It was the lightest 2950 lb car I've ever driven thanks to its lightning reactions. Shedding 200 lb and adding 200hp has given the car a respectable power-to-weight ratio.
Wind it out and you're bombarded by the unfiltered soundtrack of the race exhaust. And as the Rotrex C-38 instantaneously springs to action, it just doesn't quit. Maximum boost is set at 11psi, developing 450hp.
Fitted with Ground Control coilovers and Koni inserts, the turn-in is razor sharp and the car holds a tight line. Yet getting the tail loose only requires a stab of throttle to overwhelm the tires, then a dose of countersteer brings it back into line. That kind of balance and adjustability makes this E36 so entertaining.
Getting to sample two generations of M3, albeit two cars with completely different missions, gave us a great picture of how much things have changed, and yet stayed the same.
Obviously, the E92 Blitzkrieg is better in nearly every aspect but, as many have lamented, the bigger car has added weight and sacrificed steering feel. However, it's raised the bar for the supercharged M3 segment and boggles the mind with its ability. Yet I'll admit, the E36 M3 left me with a bigger grin!

MOSCOW, Idaho—The Idaho Vandals withstood the cold, rainy conditions on Sunday in front of the home crowd at Guy Wicks Field, but could not hold off the Kangaroos of Kansas City. After playing to a 1-1 regulation tie, the 'Roos clinched the win in overtime, 2-1.
"For 70 minutes of the game we handled it well," head coach Pete Showler stated. "For some reason we are not playing for 90 minutes yet and at this level that is not going to get it done. I feel we did enough in the first 70 to 80 minutes that we should have killed the team off. We let them hang around and give all credit to them they came out and stuck one in the net."
Idaho (2-8-0, 2-1-0 WAC) began the days scoring with a goal in the 21st minute of play. Junior Katie Baran sent the ball into the goal box and found freshman Alyssa Lloyd. Lloyd took the ball off her chest just in front of the goal line and was able to tap it across for the goal. For Baran it was her second assist on the season, helping Lloyd record her first collegiate goal.
The Vandals took a 1-0 lead into the half, outshooting Kansas City 5-3 in the period.
At the start of the second half the wind and the rain became more of a presence. The 'Roos came out and from the start of the second half attacked the Vandals defense. UMKC (5-6-1, 2-2-0 WAC) outshot Idaho in the second half and overtime, 11-5. In the 76th minute Kansas City broke though the Idaho defense and found the back of the net. Taylor Bare and Idaho keeper Torell Stewart raced to the loose ball. As the two approached the ball from opposite directions Stewart slid to hold on to the ball but could not control it leaving Bare with an empty net to tie the game at one goal apiece.
In the 100 minute UMKC sealed the deal with Bare's second goal of the game.
The Vandals will get set for a three-game road trip. Next up on the schedule is a trip to Utah Valley on Oct. 4. Idaho will then travel down to CSU Bakersfield two days later and finish up on the road against Grand Canyon on Oct. 13. Idaho returns home on Oct. 18 to take on CSU Bakersfield.

If you recently started or plan to start a business in Garfield NM or have another taxable entity one of the first things you will want to do is obtain your Tax ID in Garfield NM.
Obtaining a Tax ID Number (EIN)
When starting a business in Garfield NM, serving as the administrator or executor of an estate, creator of a Trust or operating a Non Profit Organization obtaining a Tax ID (EIN) is a key responsibility. A Tax ID also known as an Employer ID Number (EIN) is a unique nine digit number that identifies your business or entity with the IRS for tax purposes, essentially like a Social Security Number for the entity. A Tax ID (EIN) is used for opening a business bank account, filing business tax returns and in many cases is required when applying for business licenses. In most cases it is helpful to apply for a Tax ID (EIN) as soon as your start planning a business to ensure that there are no delays in obtaining the correct licenses, financing and opening a business bank account that would be needed to operate.
Information to Consider Prior to Applying
Before applying for your Tax ID (EIN) you may want to consider a few things before starting the application including:
- Determine which structure your business or organization will operate as
- Determine the individual or organization that will serve as the responsible party
- Determine the physical address the business/entity will use – A physical address is required for all Tax ID (EIN)'s and a separate mailing address can be specified
Definition of Entities
- Sole Proprietor – An individual who owns a company that is not incorporated or registered with the state as a limited liability company (LLC).
- Limited Liability Company (LLC) – A LLC is a structure formed by filing articles of organization which allows members limited liability protection and pass through taxation.
- Corporation – A person or group of people who establish a legal entity by filing articles of incorporation with the state's secretary of state.
- Estate of Deceased – An estate (or decedent estate) or succession is a legal entity created as a result of a person's death.
- Trusts – All types of trusts including conservatorships, custodianships, guardianships, irrevocable trusts, revocable trusts, and receiverships.
- Partnership – An unincorporated organization in which two or more individuals share the profits and liabilities of a business venture.
- Church – For tax purposes, a "church" refers to any organization claiming to be a church including temples, mosques, and other houses of worship.
- Non-Profit Organization – Includes public charities, educational organizations, PTA/PTO Organizations, Community Sports Teams, Homeowners/Condo Associates, etc.
New Mexico State Tax ID
Outside of obtaining your Federal Tax ID (EIN) in Garfield NM you will also likely need a New Mexico State Tax ID. This ID is needed to pay business taxes, state income tax and/or sales tax on items you sell. Generally the State Tax ID is used for the follow:
- Sales and Use Tax
- Employee Income Tax Witholding
- Sales Tax Exemption Permits
- Excise Taxes for items like Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, Oil & Gas, heavy machinery, etc.

Case study
Rapid test for poultry disease
A rapid test for Marek's disease in chickens has been developed by researchers at The Pirbright Institute using their 'stand-alone' LINK award, in collaboration with Fort Dodge Animal Health, one of the world's largest poultry vaccine manufacturers. This test allows farmers to work out how much of the disease is present in their flocks and provides information about how well the Marek's disease vaccine is working.
"We are very pleased with this outcome because the industry can follow up animals at hundreds of thousands of farms around the world," says Professor Venugopal Nair from The Pirbright Institute, the lead researcher on the project. "A patent application for this test has been filed and the test has been applied in many countries in Europe, North and South America where the disease is a major problem."
Read the full case study at IPA and 'stand-alone' LINK schemes cultivate academic-industry partnerships.

BBSRC has previously supported LINK projects through the Defra-led LINK programmes. These LINK programmes are no longer open to consider new applications. Further information on these programmes can be found in external links above.
Case studies
QUOATS - Harnessing new technologies for sustainable oat production and utilisation
A five-year Sustainable Arable LINK project launched in September 2009, QUOATS is led by Aberystwyth University (IBERS) and is jointly sponsored by:
- Defra
- Welsh Assembly Government's Academic Expertise for Business (A4B) programme with European Regional Development funding
- Scottish Government Contract Research Fund
- AHDB and industry partners
Harnessing the unique properties of oats both as a plant and a grain we can address some of the emerging problems with cereal cultivation and at the same time deliver an environmentally benign crop which offers considerable health benefits for human and livestock consumption.
The QUOATS project seeks to develop oats with the agronomic qualities, yield, economic competitiveness and quality traits that meet the need of growers and industrial end-users. It is developing powerful enabling technologies for the identification of specific genes and molecular markers associated with key traits. In collaboration with academic partners and industrial end-users across the whole production chain.
The project capitalises on the value of oats as a profitable component of sustainable arable production for human and livestock consumption and for industrial end uses as proven by the earlier, and very successful, OatLINK project.
For more information visit the project website at www.quoats.org.
Conversion of high sugar grasses to alcohol based transport fuel (Grassohol)
A 3-year Renewable Materials LINK project launched in April, 2009 focusing on sugar-rich varieties of perennial ryegrass, developed at Aberystwyth University's Institute of Biological, Environmental and Rural Sciences (IBERS), as a raw material for producing bio-ethanol. With funding from Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) and the BBSRC, the project brings together the expertise of 8 partners from industry. Project Director Dr Joe Gallagher. "It offers significant potential for biofuel production and the involvement of each partner demonstrates the commercial importance of the research as we move inexorably towards a bio-based economy".
The team are experimenting with different soils, fertilizers and companion crops such as white clover, with the aim of reducing dependency on artificial oil-based fertilizers. Early results are promising and indicate that up to 4,500 litres of ethanol per hectare of ryegrass could be produced every year, comparable with other energy crops but with the advantage of being environmentally friendly, capable of growing on poorer land and with cheaper management costs.
Controlling supply, quality and waste in brassica vegetables: Understanding the genetics of maturity to breed varieties in response to climate change
A Horticultural LINK project launched in July 2009 and funded solely by us in collaboration with industry partners from Bejo Zaden B.V., Weatherquest and Elsoms Seeds.
Project leader Dr Judith Irwin from the John Innes Institute is coordinating a consortium that is working on controlling supply, quality and waste in brassica vegetables, and understanding the genetics of maturity to breed varieties in response to climate change.

According to him, you need to interview and train (2 weeks in Madrid and are subject to assignment anywhere in the country. At the end of the first week of trng. in Madrid, you get a formal offer or shown the door. If you are invited to stay on, the second week of training is then paid for. The first is always volunteer- kinda tough if you travel to Madrid, pay for your week's stay there and be not what they consider a fit. Nonetheless, for those lured by the high pay or new TEFL teachers, Vaughn prob. fills the pond with enough willing recruits. If you have some money saved up - 2,500 euros thereabouts, it may certainly be worthwhile. A plan B may be a good idea. Good luck to you! Let us know what you learn...

Although their method is good for students - lots of drilling and repetition, they treat their staff like dirt. It may say on their ads that you can ear 2500+, but do you realize that you will have to do almost impossible hours? Some people have to work 40 hours teaching to earn that money. Here at Vaughan, you are not a teacher, but a droid. You don´t have the freedom to do your own stuff. I know plenty of people who have worked at Vaughan who said they burnt out very quickly. They also dissedthe hostile management. If anyone begs to differ, please tell me. Vaughan may be seen as prestigious, but they have one of the worst reputations in Spain to work for Back to top polijohnJoined: 29 Mar 2008Posts: 3Location: Madrid, Spain Posted: Sun Apr 20, 2008 8:25 pm Post subject: Work at Vaughan - It's actually quite good. I should know. Vaughan Systems can be recommended but you just need to know what you are signing up to do before you start. I know this may shock some people but you do need to work full time (ie 40hours a week) to get paid a full time wage. In Spain 2500+ is in fact a stellar wage. Most people in quite respectable professions in the 20-30 year old range make between 900-1500 a month and they would be working full time. There is the possibility in Vaughan to be working in multiple locations as far as an hour or so away my train/subway so that you can have a full schedule and it is true that this can mean you will be out of the house from 8am to 8pm and only actually be working 8hours. That is also the case in many English schools in Spain that cater to the corporate companies. It is one of the aspects of the job you have to be willing to accept. If you are fortunate you may be working quite locally and as with many things, the longer you work for the company the better chance your schedule will improve. (because of the nature of the job changes can occur quite frequently and it is possible to have improvement as quickly as 6 months into your stay) The "Method" is quite rigid but I wouldn't say it is boring for the teacher. Admittedly if you like to add a lot of flare and generally adlib classes this might seem a very narrow range. However it also means your life as a teacher is easier. Preparation is cut down because you have your classes almost preplanned by the very nature of the method. That means that although the method might get repetitive for you, you won't spend hours coming up with ideas. To say your not a teacher is just silly. Your ability to interpret the English expressions and give the students better understandings of words and when to use expressions taught in this style is where the majority of your teaching comes in. The method is designed to make the classes the same no matter who teachers the class and Vaughan will not fire you if you are indeed using the Method and students complain about the Method. They will only look to fire you if you do your own thing. If you want to do your own thing then I agree this isn't for you, but it doesn't mean you can't incorporate your own ideas into the process. I am in fact a Vaughan teacher and I also know many people who work for the company. I can completely understand how people could get burned out but you are asked to take up to 35hrs teaching a week, and that usually isn't too hard to handle. The first few months are the toughest, especially if, like me, you were getting accustomed to a new city and continent for that matter. The management isn't hostile although it isn't warm and cuddly either. You have people to contact if you need to and people to ask for advice and help. It is a very driven company and like many other companies it is conscious about making money and retaining customers. Vaughan is somewhat prestigious among students but I don't know of any schools that are prestigious among teachers, generally when you work for a company you always see its flaws. And this company, like most, definitely has some. But if you are looking for a job in Spain paying you a good wage (especially if you fit into the 20-30 year old category) teaching English, I see no reason why this company isn't an option. So, yes, I guess I would beg to differ.

Back to top polijohnJoined: 29 Mar 2008Posts: 3Location: Madrid, Spain Posted: Fri Apr 25, 2008 11:15 pm Post subject: I am in fact working for them, as I said clearly in my last post. But regardless to answer El_Che the hourly starting pay is 19.30 euros an hour, and sadly it is as an autonomo, which means you lose about 180 euros a month to Social Security or a bit more if you are older than 35. As far as planning, once you get accustomed which isn't that long I would argue it is all planned by the material, but this really depends on you. I spend about 15 mins preparing classes for 4-5hours of class. Obviously as you get to know your classes you are able to better plan and also assign homework and the like. I wouldn't say I'm brainwashed but I appreciate a company that pays on time, and as they state, and I don't consider 35hours a lot. I worked in the service industry before in Canada and worked about 30-40hours a week but between split shifts and everything I made less than I do now and now I work physically less hard. In response to workingnomad I am aware that there was some bad blood between Vaughan and another faction which I believe now is Pueblo Ingles. From a current teachers point of view this doesnt affect me. If you can find better hours, pay and everything with someone else feel free, more power to you. For myself with limited teaching experience and little paper in terms of TEFL or CELTA it has worked very well. At this point all I do is show up for my scheduled classes and get paid what I consider a fair wage, and take in about 2500-3000 euros a month before all taxes. At my age and experience I have little to complain about. If you disagree please tell me about alternatives. If I am misled please someone correct me.

Back to top kronosJoined: 15 Apr 2008Posts: 12 Posted: Tue May 13, 2008 9:31 am Post subject: Personally, having worked at several academies in Madrid and spoken to teachers from several more, I think you can do a lot better than Vaughn. So they pay 2500+ for 40 hours/week? You can go to another academy that gives you more flexibility in your teaching and hours, and if you take on 35-40 hours/week, you'll get the same amount. Or, you can go to another academy, take on 15-20 hours/week at their rate and then fill up the other 15-20 hours with private classes (which should always pay more than your academy classes). Two years ago, I was making about 2800/month working 30 hours/week. My academies gave me access to a huge range of teaching materials that I could use in both my academy classes and my private classes. Of course, finding private classes is not always easy, but the more you network, the more you'll find. Most of mine came through academy students (teaching their kids, friends, etc.) and language exchange partners (teaching their friends).

I'm hoping that someone can answer some of my questions. I applied for a position with Vaughan Systems. The position I've applied for is what their website refers to "Option 2" (http://www.vaughanteacher.com/thejob.htm). The Vaughan website states that it can take up to a week to receive a reply. It's been almost 2 weeks and I haven't heard anything. Is this normal? Should I call? Also, I've been reading some of the discussions on this forum and one poster states that it's not even worth it to apply for jobs while overseas. Is this true? If so, I'd be willing to come jobless. By the way, I'm currently living in the U.S. but I'm planning to relocate to Valencia by July. I have dual citizenship, a TEFL certificate, a BA (college degree) in Spanish, and teaching experience with all ages, especially with children. Finally, are there any other companies that I should apply with? Wall Street Institute is another that I'm thinking about. I'm sure that I can find work at an academy after I arrive (I visited a couple over spring break who would have hired me on the spot), however, I'd like to find something with a good wage and decent hours because I'm bringing my teenage daughter with me.

Back to top rob01Joined: 16 Mar 2008Posts: 20 Posted: Sat May 31, 2008 6:44 am Post subject: The following is based upon actual personal experience and not any subjective bias for or against Vaughan. A friend had suceeded in getting a position with Vaughan, terms had been agreed in that there would be a pay for the period of training (excluding the first week which is a trial week). Three weeks before the start date (note that the original terms of payment -i believe something in the region of 50 euros per day of training- had been agreed months in advance via email), but three weeks before the start date my friend had received notice by email that they would be withdrawing this 50 euro per day stipand. I consider this horrendous business practice, and personally would never deal with any company acting in such an unethical way. My friend ultimately decided not to work for Vaughan due to this, as this demonstrates only the bad faith of that company (if they were willing to change contractual terms so close to the start date, then what else will they change if they believe they can do so) However another mutual friend did take the plunge and take up a position with Vaughan. The hours are very long; out of the house from 9am until 6 or 7pm, and then up until 1am doing homework set.. all this, and at the end of the course you will have no qualification to work for anyone else but Vaughan. From this, I deduct that there are better companies to work for than Vaughan, there are good companies out there so why settle for the bad?

Great piece by J Peder Zane in The New York Times. Wish I'd thought of it:
In Pursuit of Taste, en Masse
AMERICANS didn't always ask so many questions or expect so much in their quest for enjoyment. It was enough for them simply to savor a good cigar, a nice bottle of wine or a tasty morsel of cheese.
Not anymore. Driven by a relentless quest for "the best," we increasingly see every item we place in our grocery basket or Internet shopping cart as a reflection of our discrimination and taste. We are not consumers. We have a higher calling. We are connoisseurs.
Connoisseurship has never been more popular. Long confined to the serious appreciation of high art and classical music, it is now applied to an endless cascade of pursuits. Leading publications, including The New York Times, routinely discuss the connoisseurship of coffee, cupcakes and craft beers; of cars, watches, fountain pens, lunchboxes, stereo systems and computers; of tacos, pizza, pickles, chocolate, mayonnaise, cutlery and light (yes, light, which is not to be confused with the specialized connoisseurship of lighting). And the Grateful Dead, of course.
This democratization of connoisseurship is somewhat surprising since as recently as the social upheavals of the 1960s and '70s connoisseurship was a "dirty word" — considered "elitist, artificial, subjective and mostly imaginary," said Laurence B. Kanter, chief curator of the Yale University Art Gallery. Today, it is a vital expression of how many of us we want to see, and distinguish, ourselves.
As its wide embrace opens a window onto the culture and psychology of contemporary America, it raises an intriguing question: If almost anything can be an object of connoisseurship — and if, by implication, almost anyone can be a connoisseur — does the concept still suggest the fine and rare qualities that make it so appealing?
There were probably Neanderthals who tried to distinguish themselves through their exquisite taste in cave drawings. But the word connoisseur was not coined until the 18th century — in France, of course, as a symbol of the Enlightenment's increasingly scientific approach to knowledge.
At a time when precious little was known about the provenance of many works of art, early connoisseurs developed evaluative tools — for example, identifying an artist's typical subject matter, use of color and use of light — to authenticate works by revered masters and to debunk pretenders to the pedestal.
"Works of art do not carry a guarantee," said Dr. Kanter. "It has always been the job of the connoisseur to question, investigate, refine the received wisdom of earlier generations."
As the aristocracy declined and the bourgeoisie enjoyed new wealth, especially after the Napoleonic upheavals, the number of people who could afford art expanded, as did the types of art they were interested in. Connoisseurship grew in response to the need for authoritative guidance in a changing world. In the 19th century, connoisseurs helped reassess the works of forgotten artists, like Giotto, Fra Angelico and Botticelli, who are now considered canonical. They studied and appraised ignored forms like German woodcuts, French porcelain and English statuary.
Contemporary efforts to apply connoisseurship to a host of far-flung fields are consistent with this history. "Our definition of quality continues to expand and mature," Dr. Kanter said, "so it makes sense that we can talk now about connoisseurs not just of art but also of rap music, comic books and Scotch. Connoisseurship is not about objects; it's a process of thinking about and making distinctions among things."
True connoisseurs — and this is what makes the label so appealing — do not merely possess knowledge, like scholars. They possess a sixth sense called taste. They are renowned for the unerring judgment of their discerning eye. They are celebrated because of their rare talent — their gift — for identifying and appreciating subtle, often hidden, qualities.
Despite its expanded applications, connoisseurship still revolves around art, if we define art broadly as things that are more than the sum of their parts because they offer the possibility of transcendence. We do not speak of connoisseurs of nature (which can transport us) or diapers (which are simply useful). But no one blinks when we apply the term to wine, food or literary forms like comic books, because these are believed to offer deeper experiences to those who can gain access to them. Generally speaking, almost anyone can become an expert, but connoisseurship means we're special.
If connoisseurship is a way of thinking, its rising popularity reflects the fact that people have so many more things to think about. ` Robert H. Frank, a professor of economics at Cornell whose books include "Luxury Fever: Why Money Fails to Satisfy in an Era of Excess," noted that the British economist John Maynard Keynes worried during the 1920s and '30s that rising productivity would lead people to work less as it became easier to satisfy their basic needs.
"It's funny," Dr. Frank said, "that someone as smart as he was didn't realize that we would invent a million new things to spend our money on and create higher and higher standards of quality for those products that would cost more and more."
Hence the $5 cup of coffee and the $8 pickle.
In the dark ages before arugula, most supermarkets seemed to carry only one type of lettuce, iceberg, and apples were either green or red. In 1945, the average grocer carried about 5,000 products; today, that number is more than 40,000, according to Paul B. Ellickson, a professor of economics and marketing at the University of Rochester.
In addition, the Internet has made millions of other options just a mouse click away. Easy access to higher-quality products opens new avenues of connoisseurship — gorau glas cheese is more interesting, more provocative, than Velveeta. But it also presents us with a mind-numbing series of choices. In this context, connoisseurship is a coping strategy. When we say we want "the best," we winnow our options, focusing our attention on a small sample of highly regarded items.
Put another way, rising connoisseurship is a response to life in an age of information shaped by consumerism. As ideas increasingly become the coin of the realm, people distinguish themselves by what they know. An important way to demonstrate this is through what they buy.
It is a form of conspicuous consumption that puts less emphasis on an item's price tag — craft beers aren't that expensive — than on its perceived cachet. In hoisting a Tripel brewed by Belgian monks, the drinker is telling the world: I know which ale to quaff. As, in all fairness, he enjoys a very tasty beverage.
Ironically, many items celebrated as examples of connoisseurship — handcrafted, small-batch, artisanal products — are themselves a reaction against the mass production trends of the global consumer society that shapes us. Just as art connoisseurs authenticate paintings, others seek wines and cheese and cupcakes that seem mystically authentic.
"A lot of what gets called connoisseurship is really just snobbery," said Thomas Frank, who has dissected modern consumer culture in books like "Commodify Your Dissent," which he edited with Matt Weiland, and "The Conquest of Cool." "It's not about the search for quality, but buying things that make you feel good about yourself. It's about standing apart from the crowd, demonstrating knowledge, hipness."
The rub is that, as access to knowledge through a Google search has become synonymous with possessing knowledge, fewer and fewer people seem to have the inclination or patience to become true connoisseurs. How many people, after all, have the time to make oodles of money and master the worlds of craft beer, cheese, wines and everything else people in the know must know?
In response, most people outsource connoisseurship, turning to actual connoisseurs for guidance. "Many people want the patina of connoisseurship on the cheap," said Barry Schwartz, a professor of social theory and social action at Swarthmore College. "So they contract out the decision-making process. My guess is that a tiny fraction of people who are true connoisseurs of wine — and there are some — don't make enough money to buy a $500 bottle of wine."
As Steven Jenkins, an expert on cheese and other products at Fairway Market in New York, recently told a reporter for The New York Times: "The customer has no idea what he or she wants. The customer is dying to be told what they want."
People have always relied on connoisseurs for guidance. What is different today is the idea — suggested by journalists and marketers intent on flattering their customers — that people can become paragons of taste simply by taking someone else's advice.
Dr. Schwartz said this could be a wise strategy. Consumers may not get the pleasures of deep knowledge, but they also avoid the angst. "You get the benefits of discernment without paying the psychological price" of having to make difficult choices and distinctions, he said. "You're happy because you've been told what to get and don't know any better."
This psychological dimension is essential to understanding connoisseurship, said Dan Ariely, a professor of psychology and behavioral economics at Duke University whose books include "Predictably Irrational." While recognizing that a small handful of people are true connoisseurs, he said his experiments with people interested in wine revealed a startling lack of discernment.
In one experiment, Dr. Ariely asked people to taste and write descriptions of four wines. He waited 10 minutes and then gave them a blind taste test, asking them to match the wines to their descriptions. For the most part, they couldn't.
In another experiment, he used food coloring to make white wine appear red. The participants, he said, "rated it highly in terms of tannins, complexity" and other general characteristics of red wine.
Dr. Ariely's work dovetails with other experiments that have found, for instance, that many people cannot tell the difference between foie gras and dog food in blind taste tests.
Even connoisseurs have a hard time getting it right. Echoing a famous blind taste test of wines from California and France in 1976, known as the Judgment of Paris, nine wine experts gathered at Princeton University in 2012 to compare revered wines from France with wines from New Jersey that cost, on average, about 5 percent as much. Not only did the experts give vastly different scores for many of the wines, but they rated the Garden State wines on a par with their costly French counterparts.
Dr. Ariely said these results did not necessarily debunk the notion of connoisseurship. "Whether we can actually tell the difference between cheap and expensive wine may be less important than whether we think that we can," he said. "We might actually experience more pleasure when drinking an expensive wine, enjoy it more, because we're slowing down, savoring it, paying more attention to its qualities."
Which, as it turns out, is a hallmark of connoisseurship.


text: Superman, the character, resonated with me. As a Pansexual man, as an atheist, I have tasted being an outsider. The longing to be normal ("Can't I just pretend I'm still your son?") to other people's reactions (Hearing "What a freak" when he was in the closet) and the military's reaction to his power is perfect. It is about being different, accepting those differences, and being comfortable enough with yourself to still be who you are when society says that you are not normal. I thought Lois Lane was a capable and believable journalist. The writing that they show of hers is really good. As someone aspired, at one point, to be a journalist, I wish that I could have written like that, and pursued a story with as much temerity as she did. I thought Zod was an extremist, but I saw his character as an element of our society. Someone who is nationalistic, someone who is bent on preserving only one kind of people, it is something we deal with in our political discussions. The first 10 minutes of the movie scared me. With as much animosity and dissatisfaction as we have with Congress (the council of "fools"), I wondered if this was our future--a military coup. If not, just look at the countries around us to see it. The movie is almost anti-Western culture because it paints it as the bad guy. Western societies fit children into their schedule now, and they treat children like status symbols and we have abortions when it isn't convenient to have them. What we are doing to the planet, our technology, our lack of exploration and respect for science, this is a part of America as much as Apple pie is. I saw this as a reflection of our own society. All of the characters mentioned above were believable. Perry not running with the "alien saved me" story. The argument about Lois being under contract, that she cannot just quit. It's fantastic to show the differences between our movie heroes of yesteryear and the realistic problems we face today. I disagree with you that this movie doesn't communicate some truth and show elements of our society.

Post subject: Wireless connection fails
Here are my two posts to the Users forum, which probably belong here:
The Network Wizard works fine only the first time I run it. It did when I loaded Alpha 6, and again when I loaded Alpha 7 (both running off of a frugal install on a pendrive). The second time, however, it says it connects, but SeaMonkey can't connect.
When run the first time, the Wizard scans and finds all of my neighbors' wireless SSID's, as well as mine. The second time it only finds mine! This sounds like a good thing, but since it never works the second time, this must be part of the problem.
I believe that the Wizard will connect properly if I delete all the old data, but I can't find the old data. I've deleted two relevant files: /var/lib/dhcpcd-eth1.info, and /var/run/dhcpcd-eth1.pid; but that doesn't solve the problem. Those files are generated by a script, /etc/dhcpcd.sh. I could disable the script, but there is some other info stored somewhere that needs to be deleted so the login runs clean.
Does anyone know where? Is this a bug that needs to be dealt with?
This was useful, but I still havn't solved the problem, nor have I located all the relevant files. I delete /var/lib/dhcpcd-eth1.info, and /var/run/dhcpcd-eth1.pid. By the way, the dhcpcd script is coded to remove the .pid file, and the comment in the script says the .pid file creates problems if it remains after a prior login. Anyway, I also deleted the info about my network connection that had been stored in /etc/WAG/profile-conf. Info is stored there, it seems, only if you tell the wizard to save a profile. I didn't because I'm trying to keep this as uncluttered as possible until I solve the problem.
Anyway, after deleting all those files I go back to connect again, and the only network the scan offers is mine, although there are several neighbors equally strong, and they all turned up the first time I logged in. Although I had deleted all those files, the system created a netscan.log, file in /tmp with all the detailed info about my network.
Somehow the wizard remembered the wireless I had connected to the first tiime. So I conclude there must be yet another file with a record of what I had connected to the last time, and that file isn't being cleaned out.
The bottom line is that although the wizard regularly reports that I am connected, I don't get a working connection. I have successfully connected to my wireless only twice -- once, the first time I tried to connect after first installing Puppy, and the second time the first time I tried to connect after installing Dingo Alpha 7. I conclude that after fresh installs some data isn't in the system that gets left there after a connection is established, and that leftover info interferes with subsequent attempts to connect.
Anyone know more about the inner workings of this? Thanks.
I'm running this off of a frugal install on a pendrive, on a Thinkpad T43. Since I get a live connection the first time, I don't think it is simply the driver -- but who am I to say?

Barry, did you have the chance to read my prior post? I was just wondering, were any changes made to ALSA from alpha6 to 7?
The difference is the kernel drivers. Alpha7 is using the kernel from Puppy3. Alpha6 built with the 2.6.24 kernel has later drivers.

I still haven't tuned in to what you have done to fix it. ...perhaps I've been using broadband too long, I'm forgetting about dialup.
I just looked at those files, there's nothing in them. Do you know what writes to them -- is it wvdial?
You have said what is in them, but what did you change to fix it?
Excuse me if I'm being a bit slow to catchon what's going on here.

Subject description: feedback on gxine.
refer your blog regarding Gxine, i think that is the right conclusion.
i was not very comfortable with xine, it is not very easy to handle for a newbie . gxine is easy to handle but it does have a full screen problem as you mentioned. but i have observed, with ezpup that problem does not persist, that means ezpup does have some pkg which corrects that fault, so i suggest to look into ezpup and find out that particular pkg it contains that brings out that effect to
gxine and gxine becomes stable and can be put to full screen without maximising it first.
other option is mplayer 1.0rc1 which i use and it can be put to full screen without any problem and one can create the play list very easyly.
last option we have is vlc-0.8.6 which i use and find very easy to handle since it does not require any play list to be created, it can play directories , may it be audio or video and can be put to full screen without any problem.
however one has to look into their overall size with their dependencies since we look for smaller pkgs.

Post subject: USB istall
I have found that a fresh install using 396 or 397 will not boot from a USB stick.
If I use 301 to set up the USB stick with Gparted and a working system then I can upgrade to 396 or 397 using the universal installer or upgrade manually without killing the stick.
I have only tried FAT16 at this stage, as this seems to be the least problematic partition scheme.
I have tested three different brands of various sizes, with the same results.
Seems to be the universal installer getting something slightly wrong in a "fresh" install for 396 and 397?

So, I've commented those lines out. Dingo is commited to CUPS I think, so cannot go back to PDQ.
It would be nice to be able to go from CUPS to PDQ at least via unleashed. PDQ is nice for getting a little more into a remaster by removing CUPS+deps and still have printing.

Subject description: I may have typed NO
Hi Berry
Now that I looked at the code you put on your blog I may very will have typed no and this may have caused it to delete all the files.
That be said there is one thing I do have a problem with and I may be misunderstanding the settings. I have tried to turn off DPMS, I have even tried saving the file to the root dir. But the system still goes into power saver mode after the time set. I so what the screen saver to blank the screen just do not want the drives to shutdown if let on while trying to get other thinks around the house done. So Berry if I need to save it to a different place or other change let me know and yes after saving I will then hit apply and the box disappears.

I entered my isp username and password into the two empty files /etc/ppp/chap-secrets and /etc/ppp/pap-secrets in the format described with Geany. Jnoble suggested it while also saying he knew no more. After that pupdial works - with that isp.
I guess that Wvdial copies them to these files from pupdial in Puppy301 and Wvdial doesn't in Puppy4. You fixed a problem with pupdial showing the wvdial log after disconnecting and with firewall modules. But I think that this aspect of dialup has not been fixed in Puppy4.
This might jog your memory of your heroic struggle but is pre Puppy2.17 (wvdial 1.41)

no xorg for my intel 830m graphics card
I don't think any of the dingo alphas have done it. I got used to using xvesa with the initial releases and then never though about it much when xorg was added.
I'm not sure how much use this program is because it doesn't make any changes to routing which is a significantly hard part of setting up a pptp connection.

Post subject: Modem hardware change-out not detected - SOLVED!
Subject description: "Connect" & modem wizard retain previous modem setup if hardware changed, needing different driver.
To test various modems with Puppy, I use the same pup_save for all tests. However, after changing modems (and booting), Puppy continues to show the modem as the previous setup. The workaround is to boot with pfix=ram every time the modem is replaced. But that loses everything in the pup_save.
The cause of this misbehavior is in the /etc/rc.d/rc.modem script, which contains commented-out code (line 28+) that would correct things. The change was made to accommodate the special case of disabled integrated modems.
#if have booted with modem turned off, default to previous setting...
#[ ! -e /dev/modem ] && [ "$OLDDEVM" != "" ] && [ "$OLDDEVM" != "MYDEVM" ] && ln -s $OLDDEVM /dev/modem
#a problem is many PCs have an on-motherboard modem that may not be used.
#if bootup with main modem turned off, do not want to revert to the
#motherboard one. so i can't really have auto-detection for booting a pen
#drive on different PCs... commented above, just do this...
if [ "$OLDDEVM" != "" -a "$OLDDEVM" != "MYDEVM" ];then
rm -f /dev/modem 2>/dev/null
ln -s $OLDDEVM /dev/modem
Please reconsider the favoring of the special case to the detriment of Puppy's ability to keep up with the installed modems. Maybe there is another way to handle the special case.
UPDATE 3/12/08: To facilitate my testing of a lot of modems, I went ahead and modified /etc/rc.d/rc.modem to make it work as one would expect -- and it works great!
I did retain the "feature" of retaining the previous setting if no valid modem found, but only if the last modem was a serial modem (ttyS0-4). External modems can be turned off, but PCI and USB modems? I also added detection of Lucent modems that do not identify themselves for puppy to detect; this is for some Thinkpads I know of. Also, my username gets corrupted because it contains an underscore, which gets changed to an ampersand -- fixed that by using a tilde instead.
The diff listing:
> #v3.98 RE 12mar2008: synchronized modem setup to actual hardware, so that only serial modems retain their setup if modem is turned off at bootup time; added detection of LT modems that do not identify themselves; changed temporary use of underscore to avoid corrupting username (rerwin).

So far it's looking very good.
I've improved the File-Sharing ROX app. It's here:
Glad to here about the changes coming for petget. Sounds like a big step in the right direction.
Please consider adding Dougal's Hotpup. I've been using it since 2.17, very convenient. It would be especially nice for newbies. I think it's in 2.14R.
I might have mentioned it before, Zigbert's Stardust icons and theme look very nice.

Swiss Mennonite Church (Alsen, North Dakota, USA)
Swiss Mennonite Church (originally General Conference Mennonite) was organized 2 December 1904, near Starkweather, North Dakota, with Christian Kauffman in charge. About 1910, when a number of families moved, the address of the church was changed to Alsen, North Dakota. The first meetings were then held in the Town Hall. The present meetinghouse was dedicated on 13 September 1919, and is located in Alsen. This church is a member of the Northern District. The membership in 1957 was 79, with Leonard Harder as pastor.
In 2007 the congregation transferred from the Central Plains Mennonite Conference to the North Central Conference of the Mennonite Church.
